You all pretty much summed it up. I remember Election Day 2000 that was the first election that I really paid any attention. I didn't really pay attention to individual states polls, just national ones, so I would have had no idea that Massachusetts was supposed to be a blue state or Alabama was to be red state. Anything that turned red on the map called for excessive cheering.
I was VERY surprised that Gore lost Tennessee, living in Memphis, I thought the state would vote the way we did. I was happy it didn't nonetheless
I do think Gore would have carried TN had he run against McCain that year.
